Elementary Schools in Brass City Charter School District

The Brass City Charter School District in Connecticut is home to a single public charter school, Brass City Charter School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. This diverse school stands out for its strong academic performance in 3rd grade, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but faces challenges in maintaining proficiency levels as students progress to higher grade levels.

Brass City Charter School boasts a student population that is 52.5% Hispanic and 32.78% African American, reflecting the diverse community it serves. While the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in ELA and Math are significantly higher than the state average, its performance declines in the upper grades, with proficiency rates falling well below the state benchmarks in 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. This trend is also evident in the school's Science proficiency, which is lower than the state average in 8th grade.

Despite these academic challenges, Brass City Charter School has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, though its ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 274 out of 490 Connecticut elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 295 out of 497 in 2023-2024. The school's high free and reduced lunch rate of 57.22% suggests that it serves a significant population of students from low-income families, which may contribute to the academic performance challenges. However, the school's relatively high spending of $14,204 per student indicates a commitment to investing in its educational program and supporting its diverse student body.
